Appearance: Ray Gilbert is African-American with light brown skin. He's at a height of 5'8 and weighs 135 pounds. He is skinny, with no athletic build and has dark brown eyes. Because of how well-defined his cheeks are, he looks younger than he is. He has black hair that is grown out like a small afro, however he never combs or brushes it. Therefore, his hair is wild and untamed. Ray tends to wear simple casual clothing, rather than name brand wear. Even though he's not a goth he tends to wear dark colored clothing, and prefers wearing a black hoodie over his shirts. He's not a very fashionable person, and doesn't care particularly for what he will wear.

At the time of the abduction, Ray is wearing a black jacket over a plain white t-shirt. He's also wearing black jeans, plus black and white worn-out gym sneakers. He had a fake gold necklace on, and an old black watch on his left wrist. He's carrying house keys, a cell-phone, and his wallet in his back jeans pocket and a pick in his left-side jacket pocket.

Biography: Ray Gilbert was born to parents Aaron and Lonni Gilbert, and has a little brother named Jalen. Jay's family was barely middle-class, as both his parents struggle to keep a decent home. His father works for a construction company, and his mother is a middle-school English teacher. He has a little brother named Jalen, who is six years younger than he is and has just started seventh grade. His family life could be seen as a struggle, as his parents fought constantly as he grew up. Although it was never an abusive relationship, the constant arguing and fighting did take its toll on Ray. It would only get worse the summer before his senior year, as both of his parents decided to separate. Ray decided to stay with his father, while Jalen moved in with his mother as she had gotten an apartment complex.

Ray has a good relationship with both his family members, even though he doesn't engage himself much because He tends to keep to himself, therefore he doesn't interact with them. Although he isn't shy he doesn't like talking about himself, because he doesn't like the attention. He grew up going to church, as his grandfather was a pastor. His church wasn't quite big, and the only members who came were usually just family members. Still, he enjoyed going to a small family church rather than a big one, as he didn't like being around too many people.

In his elementary school years, Ray had tried out for numerous sports such as basketball, baseball, track and wrestling. However, he didn't have too much of an interest in any of the sports mostly because he wasn't as good as everyone else. By middle school, he stopped playing as he was usually mocked and teased by the other kids for how bad he was. Also, he hated the feeling of being inferior to everyone else.

While he wasn't too good at sports, he did however find interests in writing stories. As a kid, he would write stories using plots similar to TV shows he had enjoyed. By the time he entered high school, he took a lot of creative writing classes to better his skills. He also became interested in WWE Wrestling, loving the fighting and the promo segments. His favorite character growing up was The Rock until he retired, but now it's John Cena. Whenever there was a live event in the area, he always saved money to see a show with a few friends. He loves video games, preferring first-person shooters and the occasional wrestling game.

Ray can be seen as an average high school student, who isn't popular or a complete loner. He does have a few close friends at school, and is nice to everyone. However since he was bullied in elementary school, he tends to stay away from any drama that may arise and doesn't engage too much in social activities. He's very quiet, and is said to be shy around large groups of people. He's a great friend, and is good at being a team-partner with anyone. Still, he'd prefer to work alone because he feels less stress and does a better job without being pressured.

In the classroom, Ray is somewhat of a slacker; only doing enough to get by. He makes average grades of b's and c's, but never pushes himself to do better. When he's interested in a subject, he tends to do better and can get better grades. His favorite classes tend to be gym and creative writing, as they don't require too much effort to pass. He's not too good at math or science, because of the level of stress those classes provides him. He tends to have a hard time paying attention, and is either doodling in his notebook or just daydreams constantly.

Ray can be an awkward person to be around depending on the situation. With friends, family, and other people he's comfortable with, he's laid-back and humorous. If a situation becomes too emotional or stressful, he zones out, withdrawing himself from everyone by staying quiet. He's not too good at choosing sides or standing up for himself either in arguments, as he withdraws himself quickly to avoid any further drama and attention. Ray doesn't like discussing about his future, as he prefers to live in the 'Here & Now' rather than worry about where he'll be in five years. Still being from a church family, he's had to deal with talks of his future numerous times, and has been lectured constantly to take his future more seriously.

Advantages: Ray is friendly, and a great team-worker. Being a nice guy, he tends to make people like him more than hate him. He's also a great listener, willing to help other people even if he doesn't get any benefit from it. Ray hardly stresses out, and is usually calm and collected in any situation he finds himself in. If he does feel too stressed, he doesn't lash out but withdraws himself from everyone around him until he has enough composure to deal with whatever problem he's up against. Once motivated, he does push himself to do whatever is needed even if no one else thinks he can do it. He never gives up once he's started something, preferring to fail than to just be a quitter. He also sees himself as a realist. He's not a follower, and prefers to do his own thing especially if someone else is doing something he doesn't like.

Disadvantages: His kindness could become a problem for him, as he does not like doing anything bad to others. He doesn't stand up for himself, and rarely argues or fights because of this. He has problems doubting himself, and second guessing any decision he makes. He doesn't have any athletic build, so he isn't too intimidating and is clumsy at times. He doesn't know much about the outdoors, so the island itself could become a problem for him. When it comes to decisions that affects other people, he tends to make decisions that wouldn't hurt them in anyway despite any benefit it could give himself.
